Pensions Versus Compassion That is the Coming Game

There has been a growing attack on Social Security and Pensions, everyone is being scared into thinking that they are not going to be able to retire. We are being led to believe that our 401ks and retirement accounts will be looted by the government to pay it's bills. At the same time we are being told that all of our taxes are being used to pay freeloaders. What would you do if you were told you could keep your retirement, pension or 401k if we stopped having welfare?

We are being played. There is no way that with our aging population anyone in congress would survive if they allowed our Social Security or pensions to be stolen, not in the United States. You would have elderly people with guns in the streets and they own a lot of guns. The attack on the baby boomers retirements is a play to get them to vote a certain way.

Scientists Arguing Over Stupid Ideas

I grew up during the space race and had many family members that worked in aerospace for at least part of their lives all the way from the first rockets to the stealth bomber and other things. I grew up loving science and still do. In particular I like quantum physics because I love to watch the scientists make sense of what they observe on the sub-atomic level.

The bottom line is that on a quantum level (sub-atomic) things don't follow the rules of physics that we see on a atomic level. On a quantum level particles interact on a quicker than speed of light manner. Basically things which are not connected to one another effect one another in a manner that could only happen if the objects could move faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein, nothing can move faster than the speed of light. It has to do with mass and force.

The next problem is that there is not enough mass in an atom to account for gravity and gravity is believed to be the reason why things pull on each other. The idea is that the bigger an object is, the more it attracts objects to itself. The world spent a whole lot of money to build a machine to examine atoms and their parts to figure out why things don't have enough mass to account for gravity. I simplified that as much as I could.

The answer that was offered to the issue of gravity was that science believed there was a particle that somehow magically gave mass to other particles while retaining it's mass. That it gave more than it had. There are some problems with this conceptually. This particle was called "The God Particle"; but, is actually named the Higgs Boson. Some scientists claim that they have found it. They don't know what it does though and therefore have not actually proven anything. Still, they are getting the Nobel prize for saying they found it.

Quantum physics is fundamentally having a problem why there is gravity and why things react to each other faster than the speed of light. Well, some scientists are being hailed for having a new and better explanation.

The new theory is basically that there is no space between things, that distance is an illusion. It also suggests that time is an illusion. Wow. This is as dumb as the idea that there are unlimited numbers of alternate dimensions. They are all afraid to address the real question, why isn't there enough mass in an atom to account for gravity. Very simple. The question they are forced to contend with is wrong. They are trying to say that there does not need to be enough mass, that concept of mass and or space and or time is a mistake or that these things appear from other dimensions that cannot be examined or explained.

Let me give an analogy on a human level. Lets say you and nine other people were in a room. The ten people in the room weigh 100 lbs each. Another person person, the 11th, walks in the room and he too weighs 100 pounds. As soon as he walks in the room everyone else in the room gains 10 lbs and he continues to weigh 100 lbs. The 11th person never touches anyone; but, everyone gains weight just from his being there. That is how the Higgs Boson is supposed to work.

The new theory, the one about holograms. They are basically saying that you were always in the room and always touching everyone else in the room. It is just that to you and everyone else and the room and any observer of you all in the room were mistaken about your ever not being in the room.

Too many people to count have reported that they were aware and had consciousness even after they were dead. They also report that they had seen and heard things in the area around them that they could not have seen or heard. This is called the Near Death Experience (NDE). Scientists are disturbed by medical people talking about NDEs because they don't fit in with the material concept of the universe. They would like to believe that thoughts are the consequence of matter rather than matter being the consequence of thoughts.

We know and can scientifically prove how objects interact. The laws of physics work. We cannot prove why the universe exists only that it should not. If we accept that awareness exists outside of the physical then we can see the answer; but, that means there might be a God.
